Curiosities of Medical Experience
Description
Curiosities of Medical Experience is a book by J. G. Millingen, first published in 1838. In this richly anecdotal volume a seasoned army surgeon and physician draws together unusual case histories, clinical observations, and reflections on the practices and oddities of early-19th-century medicine.
The book moves between startling medical incidents, accounts of peculiar symptoms and recoveries, and wider commentary on how medical ideas and social attitudes shape treatment. Written from direct experience, the text offers both entertaining and instructive material for readers interested in medical history, historical case studies, and the development of clinical practice. Millingen’s voice combines practical veteran observation with the curious, often moralising tone typical of Victorian medical writing; the result is a work that helps modern readers understand the diagnostic challenges and cultural context of medicine before modern germ theory.
